Chinese term or phrase: 如烟网站

Greetings,

如烟网站 is a four-character combination to be found in the second entry here:

http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=如煙如烟&rls=com.microsoft:*:I...

I am told it, or part of it, means “smoke anywhere” – is that correct?

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon

What is RUYAN?

RUYAN electronic cigarettes, cigars and pipes and their associated replaceable cartridges provide the pleasures of smoking without the associated dangers. RUYAN products fully simulate the entire smoking experience and are far more appealing than any of the existing alternatives on the market. RUYAN products provide similar enjoyment of smoking without tar and carbon monoxide and the other dangerous substances that are released in the burning of tobacco.
